The land of Sanitatum is said to be filled with magic, but it is also plagued by a contagious curse that threatens humanity's survival. It is the purpose of the heir to the throne, Simba Adofo, to inherit his father's crown and find a way to vanquish the curse he hates for corrupting his land. However, when he finds himself caught in a web of lies to prevent his succession, he must team up with a cursed boy named Hari to unravel his kingdom's insidious past to reclaim his crown and cure the curse once and for all. __________________________________________ With regards to friendship, family, love, and expectations, Afflicted offers a commentary on the shortcomings of reality, as well as my own anxieties about life through the lens of a fantasy world. I hope that by its completion it touches all who read it. Every week a chapter is updated, a new chapter illustration is drawn by me to accompany the story. I sincerely hope you enjoy my writing and artwork.

(Notice, I'll be taken this story down from the free platform and uploading it to Kindle Vella. It's been sitting on here for three years and it's time. I am giving anyone who is reading it a chance to finish it before I take it to the other platform.) Every family has their share of secrets. For one young man, Raven, the secret he holds has made it so he can not share any romantic contact with anyone, not even a single kiss until his eighteenth birthday or his whole life would change. If he does he would become a demon like his mother. Growing up knowing he could never feed, even by mistake takes it's toll but he's almost there. His best friend/roommate had other plans however and no one ever told him what would happen if he did feed.
